Slew of Unfair Reviews.......2007-10-03
I feel obligated to come and, shall we say, balance the scales.
First of all, I do not work for and am in no way affiliated with anyone who wrote this book. I'm a college student interested in psychology - particularly learning and memory.
In my opinion, the book offers a number of interesting strategies for becoming more creative. Win loves to explain everything in a crisp, clear manner. His lucid writing style will enable you to understand how things work - and also makes the book a very intersting read in general.
Some of the things discussed in the book:
1. Dream Recall - Actually remember your dreams each and every night.
2. Using the First Law of Behavioral Psychology Advantageously - You get more of what you reinforce. Reinforce your own creativity so that you become more creative.
3. Image Streaming - Use visual imagery and rich description to boost brain power.
4. Photoreading - Absorb entire books and unlock the details you need.
5. Freenoting - Remember everything you read or hear in a lecture with startling clarity.
6. Achieving Flow - Strive to create a learning experience which puts you in a state of pleasantly absorbed concentration.
This is not everything in the book - far from it. The book is chocked full of other little tidbits, stories, and ideas pertaining to accelerated learning which makes the book a great overall read.
I do not agree with everything Mr. Wenger says. Photoreading, for example, seems to be a mixed-bag AT BEST. Cognitive Structural Enhancement also seems to be a shady, unlikely-to-produce results adventure. Borrowed Genius is plausible - it mainly just tries to get you to shift your perception, which will always be short-lived without conscious effort.
The majority of what Mr. Wenger teaches I agree with. Image Streaming has great potential and I feel it does indeed aid my mental prowess. However, Mr. Wenger claims it is "proven" and makes outrageous claims about its power. Bottomline: It probably depends on the person. Give it a fair trial - it might be the most useful exercise you have ever done.
Freenoting is probably my favorite technique in the book. Freenoting is a simple way to remember practically everything you read in a book or hear during a lecture. It operates on psychological principles and I have used it enough to know it works wonders. Try it - you will not be disappointed.
Mr. Wenger makes great use of the First Law of Behavioral Psychology. He has lots of little applications for this one little principle - and they all work. You can use it to remember your dreams and become more creative - guaranteed. These techniques work and are also easy.
Achieving flow is difficult to purposefully create - it seems to be one of those things that just happens naturally. I have yet to actually sit down and try to create a learning experience based on flow - but if I could, I am certain it would be the greatest learning experience of my life. I will look into that.
The rest of the book describes various tidbits to try, such as image streaming in a way to increase blood flow to the brain, swimming underwater more often, etc. These are interesting theories and deserve a fair trial. An interesting story Mr. Wenger uses to talk about the power of the subconcious mind involves a japanese mathematics teacher and a unique teaching method. He has his students essentially complete math worksheets as fast as they can - racing against the clock essentially. A perfect score must be obtained before moving onto the next worksheet. This technique would be fun and practical - and you may want to try it yourself.
All in all, the book is a great read. The theories are interesting and Mr. Wenger has a very lucid and engaging writing style to hold your attention. Some of the things in the book are very questionable; use your own judgement. Don't believe that image streaming will make you a genius overnight - that would be ridiculous. Will it increase your mental awareness and overall power? Maybe - and you should give it a fair trial in my opinion. Just because something is not proven does not mean it is not true, or even more important - that it cannot be proven to be true. The Theory of Evolution is not a proven theory - yet most scientists believe in it. Take everything with a grain of salt and use your own judgement.
Prove it.......2007-07-18
I want to know what this guy has to show for all of his ground breaking techniques. If he has been image streaming (etc) as much as this book implies, shouldn't he have some ungodly IQ and at least have a couple amazing intellectual accomplishments to show for it? There seems to be an intuitive feel to a lot of what he is saying, though. I don't see how doing something as mentally jogging as image streaming could do nothing for one's mind. Conventional IQ tests are not necessarily a good measure of a person's actual intelligence anyway. I would not be the least bit surprised if image streaming supplemented the ability to write and speak creatively, and perhaps solve problems.
Another thing about the book--the very reading of something with so much emphasis on intelligence will make someone far more aware of their own intelligence. This can make people feel more intelligent, or even free them to ways of thinking they hadn't thought possible.
Finally, placebo effect, anyone? What if people read an equally motivating and intriguing book about a method that just plain did not work? Doubtless, some of them would try the method and convince themselves that it worked, largely due to the principle in the above paragraph.
Developing Intuition.......2007-06-24
This book motivated me to start a discipline where I combined meditation and Image Streaming every day and I started using more of my mind right away. After two weeks of daily practicing I saw how my intuition developed in ways that I didn't even expected like having dreams of things that were going to happen the next day, dreams of people that I haven't talked to in a long time that called me next day, etc. It also added a sense of trust and happiness to my life. I compare it to going to the gym... when you practice with discipline you develop the muscle you want and some exercises are better for some people than for others. Something important here is to BELIEVE that it works in order for it to work. We have been hypnotized by our current society to believe that using more of our brain is paranormal and it is just natural... Win Wenger presents so many examples that helped my believing process and I would say that is why it worked... I also enjoyed having some lucid dreams where I could fly, change colors of objects etc...
It doesnt work , at least for me and friends.......2007-03-21
I practiced this technique during 6 months /1 hour day. after 8 months i took standar iq tests. I did everything step by step, all that puts in the books. I practiced it with more friends.
Neither of us have experimented a really increase of iq .
I have done about 200 hours of ISing and not results in iq. perhaps yes, i have improved a bit my imagination . I thought it was going to work and i feel cheated. perhaps, its a meditation and it work for feel better, but there are a lot of better techniques to do meditation.
I can't recomend this title for practice, don't waste your time,. This book can be amazing to read ... and you can improve a bit your imagination (as other meditation technique ).
I thought if some people say that it works could be real, so many positive reviews ... but if it was real... think .. it will be spread around the world fast and retarded people became gifted.
if 80 min -> 1 iq point was real .. my iq would be 150 points higher and it's the same !!!
Nobody is going to bring back all the time spend on that...
My friends has been practising it and the same results ...
Somebody has marked before it is Pseudoscience is any body of knowledge, methodology, belief, or practice that claims to be scientific but does not follow the scientific method .Pseudosciences may appear scientific, but they do not adhere to the testability requirement of the scientific method and are often in conflict with current scientific consensus.
Failure to provide adequate information for other researchers to reproduce the claimed results.
The Einstein Factor and Orgasm.......2007-03-16
I have been fascinated by a description of a process called STREAMING for connecting the unconscious mind to the conscious brain in the book The Einstein Factor, and noticed how it corresponded to descriptions of what happens to a person when they go into what scientists in Europe call orgasm.
Specifically they both talk about turning off the frontal cortex in the brain to connect with something deeper underneath the stream of normal consciousness. Dr. Charles Reinart did research indicating that peoples IQs went up 0.4 points per hour when they practiced this technique. I have been wondering what it does to the Orgasmic Quotient.
The authors note that as you begin these exercises your sensation stream may be weak because you have been ignoring and repressing it. As you begin practicing the sensations will become stronger and more vivid. A form of resistance, they call the squelcher block us from achieving our full mental capacity. At the root of the activation process is your daily practice of Sensual Streaming. Once you have opened you mind to the subtle messages of the right brain and limbic system, the other components of the Genius Meme will fall into place naturally. Your own perception will guide you on the way showing you at every step what to do next.
The Squelcher is the mechanism in the brain that tends to shut down ingenious thought. It is mainly a left-brain function. Its natural mode of expression is logic, language, and analysis. It squelches insight with questions like Does this idea make sense? or Is there any precedent for this? To bypass the left-brain, we must learn to squelch the squelcher. Allow ideas to flow in freely, deferring critical judgment for a later time. A speedy input of data can short-circuit the right brain. When Streaming, we talk, listen and generate imagery at a normal pace, yet we experience an overload as great as if we were trying to understand a fast talking auctioneer. As our perceptions collide in a feedback loop of rapid flowing perception, left-brain thinking is broken up, and the violence of that collision gives rise to standing waves of insight in startling elegant new forms. The more complexity we bring into our thought process, the more room we create for dramatic state changes.
Sensations enter the brain at a distinct port of entry. Then it is processed, tagged, and shunted around the brain for further processing. To get an aha effect you need to get as many different parts of the brain as possible working on that stimulus simultaneously. You want the sequence by which the different brain regions fall into phase with one another to be times so closely that any given stimulus is discharged across the brain before close out instructions can be attached
How To Sense Stream
1. Describe the sensations aloud either to another person or a tape recorder. Describing them silently will defeat the purpose.
2. Use all 5 senses and conceptual thought in the descriptions. Describe taste, texture, smell, colors, and sounds.
3. Phrase all of the descriptions in the present tense.
The Principle of Description
1. When you describe any object, real or imaginary at the same time you are observing it, the very act of description focuses your attention in such a way that you perceive more and more detail about the object being described.
2. Describing an object aloud to an external focus, such as a live listener or voice recorder is the strongest way we know of to build this additional discovery effect.
3. The more sensory your description and the less abstract and explanatory, the more powerful the effects, especially when you are describing abstract or complex situations (as distinct from concrete ones).
The feedback principle: The more you describe something the more you get. Fudging or making up experiences is a legitimate imaginative process that feeds back to the unconscious mind and triggers more spontaneous imagery.
The goal is to achieve a completely spontaneous flow of uncensored uninhibited imagery. At a certain point you will not have to struggle to get an image. You will be surprised by the abundance of images, their startling clarity and their bizarre and unexpected subject matter. When this has happened you have begun to Sensation Stream.
INTEGRATING STREAMING AND OMING
In my Orgasmic Meditation practice, I have been leading the stroked with the phrase, Describe a sensation. Repeated calmly and persistently when she stops talking.
The results have been phenomenal. In women whom I have rarely noticed a cascade of contractions before, a stream of contractions seems to engulf their genitals.
The OMs have also seemed more focused on the genitals. Behaviours like loud moaning and random movements, have seemed to give way to a very strong, focused connection between my finger and their genitals.

Book Description
The Big Bang: A Big Bust? The cosmos seems to be in crisis, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see it. How, for instance, can the universe be full of stars far older than itself? How could space have once expanded faster than the speed of light? How can most of the matter in the universe be "missing"? And what kind of truly weird matter could possibly account for ninety percent of the universe's total mass?
This brief and witty book, by the award-winning science writer Donald Goldsmith, takes on these and other key questions about the origin and evolution of the cosmos. By clearly laying out what we currently know about the universe as a whole, Goldsmith lets us see firsthand, and judge for ourselves, whether modern cosmology is in a state of crisis. Einstein's Greatest Blunder? puts the biggest subject of all--the story of the universe as scientists understand it--within the grasp of English-speaking earthlings.
When Albert Einstein confronted a cosmological contradiction, in 1917, his solution was to introduce a new term, the "cosmological constant." For a time, this mathematical invention solved discrepancies between his model and the best observations available, but years later Einstein called it the "greatest blunder" of his career. And yet the cosmological constant is still alive today--it is one of the "fudge factors" employed by cosmologists to make their calculations fit the observational data. Theoretical cosmologists, shows Goldsmith, continually reshape their models in an honest (if sometimes futile) effort to explain apparent chaos as cosmic harmony--whether their specific concern is the age and expansion rate of the cosmos, hot versus cold "dark matter," the inflationary theory of the big bang, the explanation of large-scale structure, or the density and future of the universe.
Engagingly written and richly illustrated with photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, Einstein's Greatest Blunder? is a feast for the eye and mind.

Understanding the stars.......2002-03-11
This book is all about the stars, where they came from, how they got there, and how long they'll be there plus the methods scientists (astronomers) figured these things out. For anyone with a science-geared brain, this book is great. I'm currently taking physics at my high school, this book really helped me to understand the concepts and formulas in a "behind the scenes" way. The language used by the author is occasionally hard to understand but it's a book you have to read slowly in order to understand it all. The concepts that involve things from later discussed topics have references to the chapter they can be found in. It's a really in-depth and well-written book for anyone with an interest in astronomy or science in general. Some of the concepts discussed are the age of stars which can be determined according to their surface temperature and luminosity, the doppler effect which explains the motion of stars and planets due to the fact that wavelengths shorten when an observer or source moves toward the other and lengthen in the opposite way, the kind of star or star group and what the characteristics of each are, and the nature of gravity in space according to several astronomers and scientists like Newton, Einstein, Galileo, etc. The book also includes many pictures and diagrams to help the average reader understand the specific topics of each chapter.

Book Description
What did people like Einstein do to access the inherent genius of their minds? Mind development pioneer Dr. Win Wenger noticed a clear pattern. He discovered that geniuses are little more than ordinary people who have stumbled upon a technique for widening their channels of attention. Superior thinkers may be the result of mental conditioning rather than genetic superiority.
With The Einstein Factor, you can learn to condition your mind in the same way. Once you unleash the genius within, you can improve your performance in all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.
The Einstein Factor offers a breakthrough set of tools so you can gain access to a remarkable flow of inner perception. You'll discover how you can:
- Improve your memory
- Learn and absorb new information with ease
- Solve problems like a genius
- Induce a state of total creative absorption
Customer Reviews:
Awesome.......2007-04-01
I think Dr. Wenger's information was awesome. There were so many ideas to put into practice for anyone wanting to get more connected with their creative self. I started to use some of this information and dreams and visions have been forthcoming nearly every night for 2 months. What is awesome is that before this information, I might have maybe one dream or vision every six months, which means only one that I remembered. But, with these techniques, they just pop you out of bed to write them down. I loved it. I used to think I wasn't very visual and that has now changed to I am extremely visual.

Excelent Audiobook!.......2005-03-07
I just finished listening to this audiobook, so I can't yet tell you whether or not the techniques will actually raise your IQ, but I can say that I immensely enjoyed the book, and I also enjoyed how the author read the book (in spite of what another reviewer wrote). I'm writing this to defend the author. I thought his voice was friendly and sufficiently animated. At one point, I even wondered if he was reading or talking from his memory because it sounded very natural, as though he was carrying on a conversation. Overall, the great ideas you'll get from this book will more than make up for any crazy, uber-enthusiastic, super-hyper voice that you may find with other audiobooks.
Good book, bad reading.......2003-01-11
Between the two - book or recording, please choose the book! The materials are useful, provided you have both time and motivation to embark on a long course of self-development, with a lot of exercises, a lot of daily work.
The problem with this recording is, however, that it is read not by a professional reader, but by Dr. Wenger himself. He probably is a smart man, but not smart enough to understand that his voice is quite senile, lacks energy, his diction is blurred, with no persuasiveness, no impact on listener, very boring and totally non-convincing. I have no problems when youthful Tony Robbins reads his own materials recorded on tapes and CDs with his unmatched Passion, but I do have a problem with something as life-less and monotone, as the recording of this otherwise excellent course. Four stars for the book, only 2 stars for the recording.

"The Einstein Factor" - A great read! .......2006-11-04
Recently introduced to the works of Ms. Falconer, I was most delighted by The Einstein Factor. The book is well crafted, with good character development and a tight plot. I look forward to reading the rest of her work. Her characters are rich and believable, leading readers into their world and leaving them satisfied at the conclusion. Good stuff!
Their are many FACTORS that make this an outstanding read.......2001-08-22
Nancy's wealth of knowledge and experience is showcased brilliantly in her book, "The Einstein Factor" as she skillfully weaves it throughout the lives of her characters. In a smooth, easy to read style, she wraps intrigue upon intrigue carrying the reader effortlessly along the mysterious path she has contrived for them. The protagonist is a fully fleshed out, three dimensional character that you feel drawn to immediately and eventually to her friends as well. All in all "The Einstein Factor" is a compelling novel that is a must read for mystery and science fiction lovers alike.
The Einstein Factor-Fascinating.......2001-07-08
The Einstein Factor was griping. I was fascinated with the depth of the characters. The plot kept me intrigued and unable to put the book down until the end. The warmth and compassion shown by Sara for her brother and friends was touching. It is easy to put yourself in the role of Liz and Ray as struggling students making the decision to use the Einstein Factor. This book was so real and believable. What will happen next? Hopefully there will be a sequel. The author did an excellent job.
